Striker Edrisa Kaye is set to lock horns with SC Villa over his transfer to Malaysian side Universiti Sains without authorization. Kaye, who left the record league champions in 2012, soon after the appointment of Mike Mutebi as manager to replace Serb Srdjan Zivojnov, was supposed to be in Rwanda at the time.
Kawowo sports has seen documents signed by club chairman Fred Muwema allowing kaye to attend trials at army side APR in Rwanda on December 5, 2011. On the same day, December 5, 2011, when Muwema signed, Kaye presented Fufa with a letter confirming his release from the club.
It is clear in this letter since the contacts of SC Villa and Muwema’s signature were altered to highlight the consistent departure of Ugandan players to Rwanda and the Far East in the past decade.
“It’s true we gave Kaye permission to go on trial in APR but there is know we would be sick to again release him on the same day,” explained Villa football director Joseph Kanaba. “The reason why we put these numbers on our documents is that Fufa should contact those people directly in case of any transaction they never did,” added Kanaba.
Fufa competitions committee (FCC) secretary Decolas Kiiza is adamant Kaye used proper channels to move to Malaysia. “The transfer matching system (TMS) is a self-valuation system; there is no way the player can leave one club to another without the clearances of his club.”
“On the best of my knowledge Eng. Nkemba (William) is the TMS agent of that club (Villa) and if you haven’t received any information from Nkemba you don’t have reliable information,” Kiiza said.
Nkemba rubbished the allegations. “It’s not true. Personally, I can’t know what would have happened because I have not carried out any operation on behalf of the club for Kaye,” Nkemba said. The Villa hierarchy is suspicious there is a local self-proclaimed agent behind all this.
